Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley lowered the boom on attorney and Democratic power player Michael Avenatti after evidence revealed he and Julie Swetnick conspired to torpedo Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings.
Townhall’s Katie Pavlich reports:
Over the weekend Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley released a 414-page report detailing allegations made against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process.
The report not only found that none of the accusations made by anyone failed to include evidence or merit, but that infamous porn lawyer Michael Avenatti and his client Julie Swetnik criminally conspired to take down Kavanaugh’s nomination.
“The evidence appears to support the position that Julie Swetnick and Mr. Avenatti criminally conspired to make materially false statements to the Committee and obstruct the Committee’s investigation. Accordingly, the Committee referred both to the Department of Justice and FBI for investigation and potential violations of 18 U.S.C. § 371, § 1001, and § 1505 on October 25, 2018,” the report states. “In addition, on October 26, 2018, the Committee made a second criminal referral against Michael Avenatti to the Justice Department and FBI for investigation of potential violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001 (knowingly providing materially false statements) and 1505 (obstruction of a congressional investigation), based upon the NBC story that evidenced that Mr. Avenatti may have fabricated allegations by a second declarant.”
After Avenatti hit back against Grassley with salacious conspiracy charges, the Chairman appeared in an interview on Fox News to further explain the report’s findings.
